Not the Squirrel I Was Looking For

I was trying to bribe the squirrels out with peanut butter this evening so that I could get a backlit photo as the sun started to set.  The squirrels were too busy collecting acorns to be bothered so I gave up (after 45 minutes).   

On the way back to the house, I saw this sunlit sparrow in a tree next to the driveway and thought it looked unusually pretty (for a sparrow).  I realized it looked the way it did partially because of the way the sunlight was hitting it but also because my black SUV was in the background and added some nice contrast.  

BTW - Thanks for the stars and hearts for yesterdays squirrel.  They are all very much appreciated.
